Let’s be real: going to John Lewis on a Bank Holiday is a vibe. The store is often quieter than a Saturday, because everyone else is still arguing about where to go for brunch. You glide through the aisles like a majestic shopping gazelle.
You can try out every single massage chair in the furniture department without feeling judged. You can sample five different types of hand cream. You can stand in the kitchen section and just stare at a kettle for ten minutes, wondering if you really need a new one. (Spoiler: you do.)

Plus, their café will be open. A scone and a pot of tea on a Bank Holiday? That’s practically a spiritual experience. You are treating yourself. You deserve that lemon drizzle cake.
The ultimate secret weapon
If you’re feeling particularly clever, you can order online for Click and Collect. You can snag that bargain blazer from the sofa, and then just waltz into the store on Bank Holiday Monday, grab it from the counter, and leave. You’ll be in and out in four minutes flat.
It’s like being a shopping ninja. You skip the crowds, you skip the confused wandering, and you get to feel smug while everyone else is queuing. Highly recommended.
